Offering a high standard of service

Long O Donnell Associates, launched in 1998, now employs 25 people, concentrates on the oil, gas and water sectors. Long O Donnell are making more of an impact by offering fewer services but to a higher standard. Only now is the organisation dipping its toe into a new sector - rail.

Founders Tom O'Donnell and Fiona Long, say the firm has built up a reputation for expertise in the utilities sector which is serving it well. The company's turnover is around the £1m mark and it is talking to US clients in the gas storage market.
